Louise Joubert Coaching

“A woman with a voice is by definition a strong voice. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult”

– Melinda French Gates

ABOUT ME

I know what it means to hold many roles and carry them well — while something quieter goes unattended within.

For years, I was deeply committed to meeting expectations as a wife, a mother, and a working woman. I kept things moving. People were supported. Life, by most measures, worked.

Over time, I realised I had become disconnected from the woman who once held expansive dreams. Not dramatically. Just gradually, and quietly.

I was capable, reliable, and outwardly effective. But much of my decision-making had become reactive: shaped by expectation, habit, and momentum rather than clarity or conscious choice.

What I needed was space to slow down and think clearly. To understand the beliefs, assumptions, and patterns that had been quietly running my life. From that understanding came clarity. From clarity came self-trust. And from self-trust, a grounded sense of agency I hadn’t felt in years.

Today I choose deliberately. Not because life has become simpler, but because I know myself well enough to navigate it on my own terms.

A life lived on purpose, with purpose.

This is the foundation of my coaching.

Louise Joubert

My own coaching journey changed things at a level I hadn’t anticipated. The clarity and self-understanding it brought has fundamentally shifted how I live and work, and over time, reshaped the direction of my life entirely.

From that experience came a clear recognition of the value of this work. I chose to train, study, and equip myself professionally as a coach: not from a sense of calling, but from a commitment to offering it with depth and integrity to other women.

“Before working with Louise, I had never experienced coaching. Our sessions gave me the space to step back from the busyness of life and gain real clarity. I learned the difference between surviving and thriving and began setting achievable, meaningful goals that led to measurable progress. I now think more intentionally and make better decisions about the direction of my life. Louise is kind, clear, and supportive — I would highly recommend her.”

“Working with Louise gave me clarity and confidence in my career direction. The coaching plan was personalised, practical and highly effective. She was kind, compassionate, and deeply attentive to my goals, adapting her guidance to suit my needs. I felt fully supported and clear on my next steps.”

"Working with Louise was a unique and deeply meaningful experience. There were moments when I felt completely stunned, yet she always seemed to offer just the right words to gently move things forward. She created a rare sense of safety: a space to explore openly, question deeply, and hold different perspectives without fear.

Doing this kind of work is not easy, especially after years of focusing on what others need or expect. Louise helped me turn inward and clarify who I am and who I want to be, for myself.

Through the process, I began extending to myself the same understanding and grace I give to others. I found the courage to step more fully into my authentic self. I still have a journey ahead, but now I know that I can, and that I want to.

I am deeply grateful for the experience and the growth it sparked."

"Being coached by Louise was an incredible experience. She was so deeply invested in my journey and walked every step of a long path with me. I learnt so much about myself, added new life tools to my toolbox, and had the world’s best cheerleader helping me along towards my goals. If you’re looking for someone with real heart and dedication, Louise is the coach for you. She always shows up with full support and presence and I’m forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Thank you, Louise!"
